| Obverse description | The obverse features a highly detailed, close-up frontal portrait of a Saker Falcon occupying the left and central portions of the field, rendered with exceptional naturalistic relief showing individual feather detail, piercing eyes, and hooked beak. To the lower right, the falcon's talons are depicted gripping a branch. The right portion of the field displays an intricately engraved landscape background with stylized rock formations and foliage rendered in varying depths of relief against a mirror-polished field. Inscriptions around the design include the issuer name, denomination, fineness, and date. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a complementary dual-perspective composition of the Saker Falcon: a forward-facing close-up view of the bird's head and upper body rendered in high sculptural relief occupies the left portion of the field, while a full lateral profile of the falcon in flight or perched is depicted to the right. The detailed feather texturing and lifelike rendering throughout demonstrate the coin's high-relief minting technique, with contrasting frosted and mirror-polished surfaces enhancing the naturalistic effect. |
